Next, being illustrated to the supporting part 17 of the major part of the printing equipment 1 as the present embodiment.
Herein, Fig. 2 is around the ejection range 15 of the supporting part 17 of the major part of the printing equipment 1 as the present embodiment Stereogram, and indicate that medium M is not placed in state on transport path 16.In addition, Fig. 3 is the print as the present embodiment Stereogram around the ejection range 15 of the supporting part 17 of the major part of brush device 1, and indicate medium M being placed in conveying State on path 16.In addition, the medium M in the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment is placed on transport path 16 by Fig. 4 expressions State, and be the stereogram from being carried out from the direction different from Fig. 3, and indicate the state being exaggerated compared with Fig. 3.
On the other hand, Figure 14 is figure corresponding with Fig. 2, and is the ejection model of the supporting part 117 of the printing equipment of reference example The stereogram around 115 is enclosed, and indicates the state not being placed in medium M on transport path 116.In addition, Figure 15 is and Fig. 3 pairs The figure answered, and be the solid around the ejection range 115 of the supporting part 117 of the major part of the printing equipment as reference example Figure, and indicate state medium M being placed on transport path 116.In addition, Figure 16 is figure corresponding with Fig. 4, and indicate joining Medium M is placed in the state on transport path 116 in printing equipment as usual, and to be seen from the direction different from Figure 15 The stereogram examined, and indicate the state being exaggerated compared with Figure 15.
As shown in Figure 14, the printing equipment of reference example has on the position for spraying range 115 is used as bearing surface 103 The first bearing surface 103a, the second bearing surface 103b and third bearing surface 103c.First bearing surface 103a is in width direction It is arranged with the mode of multiple recess portions 125 (recess portion 125a) on B and is formed.In addition, the second bearing surface 103b is in the first bearing The downstream side of the conveying direction A of face 103a in the mode of multiple recess portions 125 (recess portion 125b) is arranged on width direction B and by shape At.Also, third bearing surface 103c is, the downstream on the conveying direction A of the second bearing surface 103b is laterally far from blowing unit Direction bending bending section.
In this way, when being in that arrangement form there are multiple recess portion 125a on width direction B in the position for spraying range 115, deposit In following situation, that is, medium M is concave corresponding to recess portion 125a, and can spray ink on concave medium M, to corresponding Make the landing position offset of ink in the concave of medium M, so that image quality reduces.Moreover, the printing such as reference example fills It sets like that, when recess portion 125a has periodically been arranged to form multiple on width direction B, the landing position of ink may Periodically deviate on width direction B, thus will produce periodic image quality reduces.
Moreover, the downstream side on the conveying direction A of recess portion 125a and recess portion 125b is closed.In other words, bearing surface Recess portion 125 is not formed in the end in the downstream side of 103 conveying direction A, but as the protrusion between recess portion 125 (flank) mutually level face.Therefore, even if for example making medium M swellings etc. to medium M due to medium M ejection ink Occur in the case of tilting, the tilting effectively downstream side loss on conveying direction A that can make medium M will not be become Structure.Therefore, as shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16, fold (linear heaves) L is easy tod produce, and fold L is easy to Growth, and fold L is highly susceptible to get higher.When the height of fold L is got higher, fold L and blowing unit may interfere.
Moreover, in the present specification, " height " refers to, the position on direction intersected with bearing surface, and it is not limited to lead The upward position of histogram.
On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment has on the position for spraying range 15 The first concave-convex bearing surface 3a is not formed on width direction B, using as bearing surface 3.It is assumed that the first bearing surface 3a be in In the case of forming irregular bearing surface on width direction B, medium M can deform along the bumps of bearing surface.Pass through First bearing surface 3a is set as concave-convex shape is not formed on width direction B, be become to the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment It can be to the knot that is inhibited of the case where medium M deforms along the first bearing surface 3a on the position for spraying range 15 Structure.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment is on the conveying direction A of the first bearing surface 3a There is the arrangement form on width direction B to have the second bearing surface 3b of multiple recess portions 25 in downstream side, using as bearing surface 3.This To locate, the downstream side on the conveying direction A of recess portion 25 is not closed, but be opened.Under on the conveying direction A of recess portion 25 Trip side is when being opened, and in the case where generating tilting on medium M, can make the tilting of medium M effectively on conveying direction A Downstream side loss.Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, even if can inhibit with the tilting if generating tilting on medium M Caused by fold L growth, it is relatively low so as to which the height of fold L to be suppressed to.This is because, as shown in Figure 3, By making the downstream side on the conveying direction A of recess portion 25 open, even if to which shape can be passed through if generating tilting on medium M At the subtle deformed shape T (references generally rhomboidal in shape being continuously formed on conveying direction A and width direction B Figure 11 and Figure 12), and the tilting is crushed.
Next, to the height of fold L can be suppressed in the case where having used printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment compared with Low reason illustrates.
Herein, Fig. 5 is to Fig. 8 shows the ejection models of the supporting part 17 of the major part of the printing equipment 1 as the present embodiment Enclose the summary stereogram around 15.Wherein, it indicates to Fig. 5 medellings producing pleat along the transported medium M of conveying direction A The state of wrinkle L, indicates to Fig. 6 medellings the state that fold L is grown into caused by medium M, indicates gradual to Fig. 7 medellings The fold L of growth starts the state being crushed, and indicates that fold L is disperseed by conquassation to Fig. 8 medellings, and be suppressed to relatively low height The state of degree.
In addition, Fig. 9 to Figure 12 also illustrates that the ejection of the supporting part 17 of the major part of the printing equipment 1 as the present embodiment Summary stereogram around range 15.Wherein, Fig. 9 schematically indicates that fold L is crushed and is suppressed to the shape of lower height State.In addition, Figure 10 indicates the conveying with medium M to deformed shape T generally rhomboidal in shape successively to Figure 12 medellings The state extended along conveying direction A.
For example, when ink is ejected to medium M, medium M can be swollen, to will produce as shown in Figure 5 Fold L (medium M is tilted).Moreover, even if being not in the case that ink is ejected to medium M, there is also because Absorption of Medium it is big Moisture in gas and the case where generate fold L, or the medium M caused by with being heated to medium M by heater 12 Expansion etc. and the case where generate fold L.
When generating fold L on medium M, fold L may be grown.For example, in state shown in Fig. 5, fold L In the range of the first bearing surface 3a.However, in state shown in Fig. 6, fold L reaches the second bearing surface 3b.In this way, working as When fold L growths, the height of fold L also has the trend got higher.
But since the bearing surface of the present embodiment 3 has in the downstream side for depending on conveying direction A compared with the first bearing surface 3a The second bearing surface 3b with recess portion 25, therefore as shown in Figure 7, becoming can be by the recess portion 25 of the second bearing surface 3b And the structure for being crushed fold L.
Also, when being formed with the recessed portion D that can be crushed fold L as shown in Figure 7 on medium M, as shown in Figure 8 As, fold L is broken up into fold La and fold Lb, so as to reduce the height of fold L (fold La and fold Lb) Degree.
Also, further as successively with reference to Fig. 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 it is found that the edges deformed shape T generally rhomboidal in shape Conveying direction A and extend.In this way, by being formed with multiple changes generally rhomboidal in shape on conveying direction A and width direction B Shape shape T, so as to inhibit the growth (making the height of fold L remain relatively low) of fold L.
Herein, as shown in Figure 1, the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment has:Conveying roller pair 5, along conveying direction A and medium M is conveyed;First 4, spray ink to positioned at the medium M sprayed in range 15.In addition, such as Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 Extremely shown in Fig. 8 such, as the bearing surface 3 to being supported by the transported medium M in conveying roller pair 5, having has The supporting part 17 of first bearing surface 3a, the second bearing surface 3b.Herein, the first bearing surface 3a spray range 15 in medium M into Row bearing, and bumps are not formed on the width direction B intersected with conveying direction A.Also, as shown in Figure 2, second Bearing surface 3b is leaning on the downstream side on conveying direction A to support medium M compared with spraying range 15, and includes concavo-convex portion 24, the concavo-convex portion 24 be alternately formed on width direction B as first part protrusion 23 and with 23 phase of protrusion Than and the concave recess portion 25 as second part.
It sprays range 15 in this way, the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment has to correspond to and is not formed on width direction B recessed Convex the first bearing surface 3a and include the concavo-convex portion 24 being alternately formed on width direction B the second bearing surface 3b. Therefore, tiltings of the medium M from bearing surface 3 can be inhibited on the second bearing surface 3b by becoming, and can make by with spray model The medium M for enclosing 15 corresponding first bearing surface 3a and being supported keeps smooth structure.Therefore, the printing equipment of the present embodiment 1 can be to carrying out with transported medium M from the reduction of image quality caused by the tilting of bearing surface 3 and the deformation of medium M Inhibit.

Herein, as long as the recess portion 25 that the downstream side being arranged on conveying direction A on bearing surface 3 has been opened, even if then existing Upstream side on conveying direction A does not have is not formed concave-convex region on width direction B, can also make sticking up for medium M Play the downstream side loss on conveying direction A.
Moreover, " downstream side is opened " does not mean only that the construction for not having any structure in downstream side, it is also included within downstream The structure existed on the whole less than protrusion 23 in the region of a part for side there are the construction of structure and in downstream side Construction etc., that is, as long as mean the structure for the tilting loss (such as fold L is made to become smaller) that can make medium M.
In addition, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 9 to Figure 12, the transport road of the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment in medium M The downstream side compared with recess portion 25 on conveying direction A in diameter 16 has to from the beginning 4 separate directions (lower direction) and is bent , third bearing surface 3c as bending section.
By the way that the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment is set as such structure, to making medium M along third bearing surface 3c and It is bent the tilting conquassation so that medium M, thus particularly effectively inhibits the tilting of medium M.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, in the recess portion 25 in the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment, and on conveying direction A Length L1 compare, the length L2 longer on width direction B.Therefore, even if the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment is difficult to having used In the case where generating subtle concave-convex medium M etc. (thicker medium or the stronger medium of elasticity etc.) on width direction B, The tilting loss that medium M can effectively be made, so as to particularly effectively inhibit the tilting of medium M.
In addition, in the printing equipment 1 of the present embodiment, the height of protrusion 23 and the height of the first bearing surface 3a are aligned. For example, when making the height of protrusion 23 be higher than the height of the first bearing surface 3a, transported medium M is easy to be stuck in the first bearing surface Between 3a and the second bearing surface 3b.However, (being set as substantially by making the height of protrusion 23 be aligned with the height of the first bearing surface 3a It is identical), so as to while inhibiting the phenomenon that medium M is stuck, increase the difference in height of protrusion 23 and recess portion 25.Therefore, The tilting loss that medium M can effectively be made, so as to particularly effectively inhibit the tilting of medium M.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, on the first bearing surface 3a of the present embodiment, being provided with and prolonging on width direction B The groove portion 18 and groove portion 19 stretched.Also, in groove portion 18 in the width direction B and be provided with multiple suction holes 20, in groove portion 19 In in the width direction B and be provided with multiple suction holes 22.In addition, on the second bearing surface 3b of the present embodiment, B in the width direction And it is provided with multiple suction holes 21.Also, the suction hole 21 being arranged on the second bearing surface 3b, which is more than, is arranged at first Suction hole 20 on bearing surface 3a and suction hole 22.
In this way, by the way that the pumping aspirated to medium M is formed on the first bearing surface 3a and the second bearing surface 3b respectively Sucker (suction hole 20, suction hole 21, suction hole 22), effectively to utilization the first bearing surface 3a and the second bearing surface 3b Inhibit the tilting of medium M.In addition, being formed on first by making the suction hole 21 being formed on the second bearing surface 3b be more than Suction hole 20 on bearing surface 3a and suction hole 22, to particularly effectively inhibit the tilting of medium M.
